Nissan Terrano 4x4 launched in Russia; might come to India too - NDTV CarAndBike Nissan Terrano 4x4 launched in Russia; might come to India too Nissan Terrano 4x4 launched in Russia; might come to India too By Vikas Yogi View Photos Nissan , the Japanese automaker has launched the Terrano SUV in Russia at a starting price of 677,000 Roubles (Approximately Rs 11.60 lakh). The Russian Terrano is the same available in India, but with some changes. While the overall design is the same as the Indian version of the Terrano, the car has left hand drive layout and all-black interiors there. In India, the car has beige and black colour interior. 11.22 Lakh * On Road Price (New Delhi) FIND OUT MORE Unlike the Indian Terrano that's available in diesel engine option as well, the Russian market has received the car in two petrol engines - 1.6-litre and 2.0-litre.

While the 1.6-litre 102bhp is the same powering the Indian Terrano, the 2.0-litre is the new petrol engine that churns out 135bhp and 191Nm. Also, the Russian Terrano is available in both front wheel and four wheel drive options, coupled to a five-speed manual and 6-speed manual gearbox, respectively. The 2.0-litre engined model gets the 6-speed manual gearbox as standard in both front wheel and four wheel drive versions. The more powerful 2.0-litre engine also receives a four-speed automatic gearbox with a front wheel drive layout. Nissan might also launch the 4x4 version of the Terrano in India, but that should happen only after the Duster 4x4 gets released.

The new model is based on its French sibling, the Renault Duster, but looks a lot different with Nissan’s SUV design philosophy. The Terrano enters one of the fastest growing segments with not only decent looks and features list, but also with one of the most dependable platforms. Nissan has concentrated mainly on the looks of the Terrano to distinguish it from the Renault product. Almost every body-panel is different from the hood, to the doors and the tailgate. Unlike the Micra/Pulse this one looks a lot different and one from Nissan’s own SUV range. The grille consists of a lot of chrome with trapezoid chrome strips on either side of a bold logo and dual-barrel square headlamps with blacked-out insides flank the grille. The creases on the bonnet start from the front grille, which also has a silver bash-plate on the other side adding to the overall masculine look. The overall design of the Terrano is similar to that of the new X-Trail and Pathfinder.

The side profile also has bold lines but unlike the Duster’s these don’t curve but are angular. The flared wheel-arches make the Terrano look aggressive, distinguishing it from most of Nissan’s models in India. The doors have two horizontal creases in them that help with the butch look, but it isn’t enough to alleviate the organic lines of the rest of the car. The rear end bears no similarity to any of the Nissan SUVs and it is evident that Nissan has developed a new tail lamp cluster without fiddling too much with the Duster lamps. It gets a chrome garnish to add a premium feel, but the overall appearance is rugged with roof rails and silver skid plates. The top-end version of the Terrano gets 10-spoke machine-finished petal shaped alloy-wheels, they feel premium but somehow look a little out-of-place on the muscular car. They will probably suit the Duster which is softer of the two cars. The interiors of the Terrano also look familiar to that of the Duster, but there are a few subtle yet important changes when compared to its predecessor . Nissan has worked a bit on the interior quality and the cabin now feels premium.

The music system is also different and this one is more ergonomic and user friendly. However the ORVM adjustment switch is still not easy to use; positioned under the handbrake lever. The rest of the equipment list is pretty much the same including the one-step driver height adjust and orange backlight for the instrument cluster. It also gets a rear AC vent that adds to the comfort of passengers, but it is a tad bit noisy increasing the NVH level. The base XE diesel variant gets all black interiors, while the rest of the line-up gets a beige-black combination that makes the cabin look roomier. The Nissan Terrano is available in both petrol and diesel guise. The diesel version is powered by the same 1.5-litre dCi engine that powers the Duster and will be available in two different grades – the 85bhp base variant and 110bhp for the top spec version. Similarly, the petrol XL variant gets the 1.6-litre four-cylinder unit churning out 102bhp and 145Nm of torque. Nissan has not fiddled around with the engine tuning or the suspension setup and this means the riding and handling of the Terrano is exceptionally good.

Nissan is offering only one variant (the XL) of the Terrano petrol – it has ABS-EBD-Brake Assist, driver side airbag, music system and front fog lamps. On the other hand the diesel Terrano is available in six variants – the base XE variant has a driver side airbag and power windows. The diesel XL variants have exactly the same features as that of the petrol counterpart and are available in both 85PS and 110PS tune. The XL Plus diesel gets an extra airbag at the front and alloy wheels as well. The top-end XV variants are available only with 110PS output and six-speed manual transmission. The additional features include rear AC vents, rear parking sensors and leather wraps for steering and the gear-knob. The premium version gets leather seats and wood finish inserts on the doors. The Franco-Japanese consortium has an agreement that the donor car will be positioned below the new model and hence the prices of the Terrano are higher as compared to the Duster. India being a price sensitive market, the difference between the Terrano and its French counterpart is not more than Rs 40,000 even for the top spec variant.

The few things that differentiate the Terrano from the Duster include looks, ergonomics and interior quality – all of which rank high on any buyer’s priority list. This compact crossover competes with the Renault Duster, Ford EcoSport, Mahindra XUV500, Tata Safari Storme, Force One and the Mahindra Scorpio in India. Nissan Terrano Ii Car Reviews | NRMA Motoring & Services Be the first to rate this article Nissan Terrano II Car Review Author: NRMA MotoringDate: 3 June 1997 Nissan has turned to its European Technology Centre in Cranfield, England and its Spanish assembly plant in Barcelona to produce its latest contender to the four wheel drive market in Australia. The Terrano II is described as a seven seater multi-purpose vehicle and although similar in size to the Pathfinder, it is claimed to be an addition to the existing Nissan four wheel drive line-up, rather than a replacement model. As suggested in the model name, Terrano II is the second generation of this vehicle with the original model of the Terrano being available in overseas countries for some years. However, this is the first of the model to be released in this country.

In Australia the Terrano II is available in two versions; the base RX and the top of the line Ti, both in either 2.7 litre intercooled turbocharged diesel or 2.4 litre petrol engine and five speed manual transmission. Prices start at $33,990 for the RX petrol and extend to our test TI diesel at $41,990. There are about eight similar size four wheel drive vehicles with which Terrano II will compete. All competitors have models in the same price range making it a battle for sales which will in most cases be won by the contender with the best value for money and the quickest delivery. Features and equipment Nissan's latest contender features two engines. The 2.4 litre Overhead Cam four cylinder petrol engine code named KA24E, has three valves per cylinder and is an updated version of the previous model, with improved noise and exhaust emissions. The alternative 2.7 litre Overhead Cam four cylinder turbocharged diesel engine known as a TD27Ti, is an upgrade of the engine in the previous model with the addition of an intercooler and electronically controlled fuel timing and quantity.

A five speed manual transmission is standard in the Terrano, as Nissan has decided not to provide an automatic option. Although externally identical, the transmissions for the diesel and petrol models do vary in all ratios except 4th gear, which is traditionally 1:1. A morse chain transfers drive from the rear of the gear box to the two speed transfer case which in turn provides drive to the front and rear axles. Automatic free wheeling hubs are incorporated in the front axle of the part-time four wheel drive system. The final drive ratio differs depending on the engine chosen. The independent front suspension consists of upper and lower wishbones and torsion bars in place of coil springs. The live rear axle is suspended on coil springs and is located by four trailing arms and a panhard rod. Both front and rear suspensions are stabilised via standard anti-roll bars. Power assisted steering is of the older style recirculating ball type. A considerable amount of effort has been expended on the security of the Terrano. Nissan's anti-theft system is code named NATD3 and is fitted standard as an integral part of the electrical circuit.

This system includes Superlocks, which disconnect all door locking mechanisms, preventing them from being opened from the inside even if the window glass is broken. The stereo system will sound the alarm if an attempt is made to remove it whilst in the active mode. An ignition immobiliser prevents the engine from being started by means of a signal which is sent to the engine management computer via a transponder built into the ignition key. Nissan's message to would-be thieves is, don't bother! Body and finish The corporate Nissan image is evident right from the first appearance of the Terrano's grille. The stylists have attempted to portray a bold off-road look incorporating the air intake in the centre of the bonnet, without compromising the smooth aerodynamic features created to distinguish the model. Large bumpers flow into colour coded wheel arch extensions on all models and are interconnected by moulded side door cladding on the TI version. The rear bumper incorporates a low centre step and treadplate to enable easy access through the large one-piece side hinged rear door. Panel and paint quality is equal to any of its competitors, although there are some larger gaps between the bumpers and cladding.

Comfort and space There is adequate head and leg room for all but the exceptionally tall in the front seats of the Terrano and although there are more adjustments available on the driver's seat, I believe it is not as comfortable as the seats Nissan were using in its pre-nineties vehicles. As with most vehicles, the comfort level deteriorates as you move toward the rear. The second or centre row of passengers also have good head and leg room and although there are head restraints for the two outer occupants, the comfort does not match that of the front bucket seats. Two positions are provided for the rearmost passengers and as the seat is quite low to the floor without a well in which to place their feet, this seat is not really suited for adults, but rather for children up to early teens. Numerous storage options are available in the cabin area with a medium size lockable glovebox and a shelf set into the dash above it. A pocket is located in each front door whilst the centre console supports two open storage pockets and a glove compartment with a lid. The luggage area in the rear is somewhat limited whilst the third row seat is in the upright position, but the seat is easy to remove leaving more than adequate space for necessary luggage.

Behind the wheel Being positioned rather high, vision from the driver's seat is quite good both to the front and side. Rear vision is assisted by large electrically operated external mirrors and a small but adequate internal night and day mirror. The tilt adjustment on the driver's seat cushion and the steering column, provide numerous position alternatives, although some drivers could not find a comfortable combination. The driver's foot well is restricted, with barely enough room to place the left foot between the clutch pedal and the transmission hump, and the lack of a left foot rest does not improve driver comfort. I did have to resort to the owner's manual for some of the radio functions, although the remainder of the instruments and controls were self explanatory and easy to operate. Being European based, the turn signal lever is situated on the left of the column whilst the wiper control is positioned on the right. I, like many others, am gradually getting used to this format. On the road The acceleration and performance achieved with the Terrano's 2.7 diesel engine was certainly not startling compared with petrol engine equivalents of this type. However, in actual on-road performance, the only time the engine felt sluggish was on take off.

The engine's torque begins at just under 2000 rpm and starts to diminish at 4000 rpm giving an effective torque range of 2000 rpm. Provided the gearbox is used to keep the engine within the torque band, the on road performance is more than adequate. There is a slight turbocharger lag evident particularly if the engine is allowed to operate below 2000 revs; however, this is barely evident if the vehicle is driven correctly. The gear lever is relatively short for a four wheel drive vehicle and provides a light positive control of the gearbox. Although the ratios of the upper gears are well suited to the diesel engine, first and second gear would better match the engine's performance if they were slightly lower. The power assisted front disc and rear drum brake system provided adequate braking tbroughout our test and although some slight fade was experienced this was not considered detrimental. The Terrano was surprisingly flexible and in spite of its heavy build and high centre of gravity, its road manners were quite acceptable. Although some of the smaller road imperfections appeared quite harsh the larger bumps were absorbed well through the combination torsion bar and coil spring suspension.

Off-road Preparing the Terrano for off-road driving conditions can be done without leaving the driver's seat. Automatic free wheeling hubs take care of the engagement at the front wheels, whilst transfer case selection is attained with the lever beside the gear stick. Four wheel drive is available in both high and low range and 4H can be selected on the move without using the clutch at speeds below 40 km/in, but movements in or out of 4L must be performed whilst the vehicle is stationary. The real suppleness of this vehicle is experienced in off-road conditions. The Terrano is at home in rugged country aided by its overall flexibility, good suspension travel and excellent approach and departure angles. On a couple of occasions the tow bar limited the vehicle's departure angle due to its being considerably lower than any other part of the vehicle. The large plastic bumpers and mudflaps are not well suited to serious off-road driving as evidenced by the damage incurred by the previous drivers of our test vehicle. Servicing Servicing the Terrano is a relatively easy task with most items likely to require attention being accessible, although the injector pump is a little difficult.

Servicing has been scheduled at 10,000 km intervals, although 5,000 km engine oil changes are recommended for the turbo diesel engine models. Manufacturers warranty is 3 years or 100,000 km. Towing Nissan has nominated the towing capacity of the Terrano II as 2000 kg for trailers equipped with brakes and 750 kg for unbraked trailers. Under the current NSW regulations however, this would be restricted to 1728 kg. It is also recommended that the towball mass should not exceed 10% of the gross trailer mass or a maximum of 100 kg. Summary Although a capable four wheel drive vehicle, the Terrano is not an outstanding entry in either looks or performance and will therefore struggle in the already crowded mid range off-road market. It seemingly will compete against Nissan's own Pathfinder and the lack of an automatic option will no doubt lose some sales. All this put aside, the Terrano II should be added to your list when considering a medium size four wheel drive vehicle.

Nissan Terrano AWD Launch In India In 2015 Nissan Terrano AWD Launch In India In 2015 Nissan Terrano AWD Launch In India In 2015 By 1 The Renault Duster got the 4 wheel drive just a month ago and has now inspired the sibling model Nissan Terrano to get AWD. The coming year of 2015 will see a new Terrano with the 4×4 feature. The car currently has a front wheel drive and has been decided to get a upgrade. Having the same specs under the skin as the Duster the car will be more or less similar to the 4WD Duster making it a favorable SUV for the off-road experiences. Nissan Terrano AWD will surely cost more than the Duster with 4WD given to the differences in the prices of the 2WD models. The increased cost of the former is because of the superior looks and the materials used in the interiors. The car will be induced with more features as well like the cruise control, speed limit setting, traction control, ESP and hill hold. Expectations are that Nissan will charge a sum of Rs.

12.5 lakhs for the XL 110 PS variant and 13.6 lakhs for the XV 110 PS variant, the price being the ex-showroom in Delhi. The Nissan Terrano AWD will be powered by a 1.5 L Diesel engine, which is unchanged from the current version, producing a 110 Ps of maximum power and a 240 Nm of maximum torque.The transmission is through a 6-speeds manual gear box. The Terrano is the most selling vehicle for Nissan in India and to mark its successful first year after launch the company also launched an anniversary edition of the car. The price difference between the two siblings i.e, Duster and Terrano is not likely to be a problem to the customer numbers given to the better looks of the later. The company might see a even successful series of selling seasons given to the new upgraded package. Love to read our updates? Get them via Email for FREE.

Nissan Terrano Overview Christened as Nissan Jid?sha Kabushiki-gaisha and abridged as Nissan, the Nissan Motor Company Limited is a Japanese multinational automaker headquartered in Nishi-ku, Yokohama, Japan. Widely known as simply Nissan, it is an automobile manufacturer that has captivated the auto market with its enticing fleet of cars. Nissan continues its quest to optimize product development and deliver highly innovative technology. Nissan enjoys a stellar reputation across the globe for creating truly innovative vehicles and service programs. That apart, Nissan seeks to give back to the society in a truly innovative style. It contributes to sustainable social development through all its global activities. Nissan’s goal is to provide unique and innovative automotive products and services that deliver superior values to all stakeholders. Blue Citizenship is Nissan’s Corporate Social Responsibility initiative. Nissan Terrano is a smart and practical compact Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV) that owes its origin to its French cousin, the Renault Duster. But visually, there are many points of distinction. Barring the rear fender and the roof, none of Terrano’s body panels are identical to those of the Duster.

It stays true to its Nissan DNA by a generous display of chrome on the grille and trapezoid chrome strips on either side of a bold Nissan logo. The other notable differences prima facie are the aluminium-brushed door handles, roof rails and the large tail lamp cluster which fleshes up the rear much more than that of the Duster. The fender at the back is a feature that both share and this coupled with the flared wheel arches gives it a domineering SUV appeal. The creases on the bonnet start from the front grille, which also has a silver bash-plate on the other side adding to the overall masculine look. Its design is quite similar to that of the new X-Trail and Pathfinder. Nissan Terrano has entered one of the fastest growing automobile segments with not only impeccable looks and features, but also with one of the most dependable platforms. Terrano is available in both Petrol and Diesel versions. There are 6 colours available in all variants of Nissan Terrano – Pearl White, Sapphire Black, Bronze Grey, Fire Red, Sterling Grey and Blade Silver. Nissan Terrano Exterior Dimensionally, Nissan Terrano measures 4.33m in length with a width of 1.83m.

Its overall height with the fixed roof rail is 1.67m. The wheelbase of 2.67m adds more to the interior spacing which is already abundant given its incredible height. Nissan Terrano has a ground clearance of 205mm, which is similar to that of Renault Duster, but is an add-on advantage that will keep this SUV going easily on any terrain. The side profile of Nissan Terrano has angular bold lines which are different from Duster’s curvy lines. The flared wheel-arches make the Terrano look aggressive, distinguishing it from most of Nissan’s models in India. The doors have two horizontal creases in them that enhance the butch look, but it isn’t enough to alleviate the organic lines of the rest of the car. The rear end bears no similarity to any of the Nissan SUVs and it is evident that Nissan has developed a new tail lamp cluster without fiddling too much with the Duster lamps. It gets a chrome garnish to add a premium feel, but the overall appearance is rugged with roof rails and silver skid plates.

The flared up wheel arches of this SUV are endowed with a set of diamond-cut 16” machined light -weight alloy wheels in the top end variants, while the base as well as the mid variants are fitted with similar sized robust steel wheels, which certainly make the SUV look sportier. These classy rims have been further equipped with tubeless radial tyres of size 215/65 R16, which have a superior road grip on any terrain. Nissan Terrano Interior Nissan Terrano comes with an opulent bi-tonal beige-&-black colour scheme for its interiors. The lower variants have premium fabric seat upholstery while the higher variant has leather upholstery. Spacious interiors, a chrome-finished steering wheel along with a stylish gear knob with metallic finish, give the cabin a class-apart look and feel. Terrano’s Nissan heritage grille makes it look tough and rigid, the diamond-cut machined alloy wheels and sporty looking black bezel surround headlamps underscore its visual appeal. Even the combination tail lights are very prominent that adds an elegant touch to the SUV.

This hefty SUV is placed in direct competition with the likes of Mahindra Quanto, Ford Ecosport and such other vehicles along with its cousin Renault Duster. The robust braking and suspension mechanism of the Nissan Terrano ensures a comfortable driving experience. The additional features include rear AC vents, rear parking sensors and leather wraps for steering and the gear-knob. The premium version gets leather seats and wood finish inserts on the doors. The base XE diesel variant gets all black interiors, while the rest of the line-up gets a beige-black combination that makes the cabin look more spacious. On the other hand, only one variant of the Terrano Petrol is on offer – the Terrano XL which has ABS-EBD-Brake Assist, driver side airbag, music system and front fog lamps. The top-end version of the Terrano gets 10-spoke machine-finished petal shaped alloy-wheels which, though luxurious, look odd on the aggressive looking SUV. They are better suited to the Renault Duster which is softer of the two SUVs churned out by the Franco-Japanese consortium, Renault-Nissan. The interiors of the two SUVs look similar but there are some important features differentiating the them.

The quality of interiors is superior in the Terrano and the cabin is more plush. The music system is also different and this one is more ergonomic and user friendly. The OVRM adjustment is positioned under the handbrake lever and is unintelligible. The rest of the equipment list is pretty much the same including the one-step driver height adjust and orange backlight for the instrument cluster. It also gets a rear AC vent that adds to the comfort of passengers, but it is a tad bit noisy increasing the NVH level. The interiors of the Nissan Terrano are opulent with plush seats, abundant leg room along with ample head and shoulder space for all thepassengers. This roomy SUV can house five passengers and provide a luxuriant driving experience. The comfortable seats also have lumbar support, which makes the ride extremely pleasurable. The front and rear knee room are also adequate along with ample elbow room for all the passengers. The quality of interiors is where Terrano races far ahead of Renault Duster. The ambiance oozes opulence and gives a very premium driving experience. The seats are covered with premium leather upholstery for the top-end variants, while the other variants get high-quality fabric upholstery.

The centre fascia of top and mid variants is defined with glossy black colour over it, and the remaining variants get a matt black finish. The dashboard comprises of air conditioner vents along with a large and brilliant instrument cluster. The dual-tone black-&-beige colour scheme takes the posh feel another notch up. Other elements include a leather- wrapped steering wheel, a chrome insert on gear shift knob and front and rear armrests. The door trims have a beige finish and the decorative strip added looks perfect on them. The new Nissan Terrano also has quite a few in-cabin storage spaces such as map pockets, seat back pockets, cup-&-bottle holders in the door as well as between the front seats, a rear centre arm rest with storage and holders also adds to the comfort level offered by this SUV. For the rear passengers, Terrano has a separate two-speed air conditioner with independent control. This SUV has parking sensors to simplify parking in congested areas. Terrano is also equipped with reading lamps to cater to the special needs of the passengers.

Entertainment features like Bluetooth connectivity, an integrated 2-Din Audio system with CD, MP3, AM, FM, USB Aux-In, Bluetooth four speakers - 2 front & 2 rear take pleasure another notch up. That apart, Terrano comes with a full size spare wheel, which has been further covered with a similar tubeless radial tyre and placed inside the boot compartment along with other tools required to change the tyre. Nissan Terrano Engine & Transmission The Diesel variant is powered by the same 1.5-litre dCi engine that powers the Duster and will be available in two different grades – the 83.8bhp base variant and the more powerful 108.5bhp for the top version. This fuel-efficient 1461cc, K9K, dCi diesel engine is quite powerful. It offers a peak torque of 248Nm at 2250rpm in combination with a maximum power output of 108.5bhp at 3900rpm. The 1.5-litre diesel engine is mated with a 6-speed manual transmission gear box.

Nissan Terrano Mileage The mileage quotient ranks very highly of the preference list of the Indian population and the Nissan Terrano impresses on this front. The 1.5-liter Diesel engine with 108.5bhp of power output registers a mileage of 19kmpl, while the same engine with 83.8bhp of power output produces an impeccable mileage of 20.5kmpl. The 1.6-liter Petrol engine gives a mileage of 13.2 kmpl and these statistics make Terrano a fuel-efficient SUV. Nissan Terrano Braking and Safety Nissan Terrano boasts of a staunch and robust braking system. The front wheels of the compact SUV are incorporated with discs which make braking deft. While the front axle of the SUV has an independent McPherson strut type of mechanism with a coil spring and also a highly advanced anti-roll bar; the rear axle gets a torsion beam axle along with coil springs and a similar anti-roll bar for enhanced comfort for the rear passengers. Both these systems put together ensure that the passengers as well as the SUV are stable at all times.

The top-end versions of the Terrano are equipped with the sophisticated Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) along with electronic brake force distribution technology, coupled with brake assist and a stability control module to further upgrade the braking mechanism of the SUV. Other safety features comprise of an engine immobilizer, central locking, driver seat belt reminder, doors-not-well-closed reminder, rear defogger, reverse parking sensor and a heated tailgate glass warning light. Nissan has given considerable attention to the safety aspect of the Terrano. The steering wheel is tilt-adjustable and the power steering is highly responsive to aid manoeuvring of the SUV. The front fog lamps and a rear defogger along with a wash-&-wipe function incorporated in the rear wind screen, helps in giving better visibility in rainy and overcast conditions. The fog lamps also enhance the visibility of the vehicle. Nissan Terrano Performance and Handling The diesel engine takes 12 seconds to cross the 100 kmph mark and slates a top speed figure of 175kmph.

On the other end, the Petrol version attains a top speed of 165 kmph and takes 10 seconds to cross the 100 kmph mark from standstill. Both engines are incredible performers and thus Terrano doesn’t feel sluggish at any given moment. The Nissan Terrano line-up has both Petrol and Diesel engine based versions. The Petrol engine is a 1.6-litre Multi Point Fuel Injection (MPFI) based engine, which is coded as 1.6K4M. It has the ability to displace 1598cc and can yield about 102.6bhp at 5850rpm along with 145Nm of peak torque value at 3750rpm, mated to a 5-speed manual transmission gear box. On the other hand, the diesel variants come with two power options, 85PS (83.8bhp) and the other more powerful 110PS (108.5bhp). This fuel efficient 1461cc, K9K, dCi diesel engine is quite powerful and is delivering an impressive performance.

It offers a peak torque of 248Nm at 2250rpm in combination with a maximum power output of 108.5bhp at 3900rpm. The 1.5-litre diesel engine is mated with a six speed manual transmission gear box. What do we think about Nissan Terrano? The Indian auto market is in for a treat from Nissan in the form of a fuel-efficient SUV named Terrano that is superior to its French cousin Renault Duster. The Renault-Nissan consortium has an agreement that the donor car will be positioned below the new model and hence the prices of the Terrano are higher as compared to the Duster. The good news for Indians is that the difference between the Terrano and its French cousin is a meagre 40,000 even for the top variant in India for price sensitivity is high in India. The few things that differentiate the Terrano from the Duster include looks, ergonomics and interior quality – all of which rank high on any buyer’s priority list.

This compact crossover competes with the Renault Duster, Ford EcoSport, Mahindra XUV500, Tata Safari Storme, Force One and the Mahindra Scorpio in India. Terrano comes with the age-old Nissan branding that is being used since the 80s across the globe. Akin to the sale pattern of Duster, Terrano is targeted primarily at the developing countries of the world. It is not just a cosmetically enhanced version of Renault Duster but has robust underpinnings. On the flip side, it weighs a mammoth 100 kilograms more than Renault Duster and all that seems like unnecessary bulk. Sadly, weight is inversely proportional to efficiency. Terrano has marvellous looks and its dimensional compactness can be highly advantageous. The exterior is remarkable and unlike the interior, it doesn’t display the work of cost cutting. The paint quality is nice and the bonnet is robust. Contrary to popular SUV styling, Terrano is more plush and refined and this makes it an ideal lifestyle SUV. Nissan Terrano is priced between 9.6 L and 12.9 L as per the variant chosen and the on-road price differs from one State to another.

It is an enthralling drive and its performance is unrivalled. Given its reasonable pricing and efficient engine, this SUV is a must buy.
